my car is smoking, not too bad but bad enuff, had it in too get repaired, the guy said he replaced a couple of seals and said i need to use the car more,coz he said the seals are hardening,is he talking shite, well its still the same no change, but he said if its still smoking it will probably be the turbo, where do i get a repair kit etc and roughly how much, oh and see when i put my foot down it doesnt sort of decelarates instead of accelerate any help will be greatly appreciated |

... and breathe. lol! It will be either the valve guides, valve stem oil seals or oil seals on the turbo. Have a look in the boost hoses. If there's oil in there it's the turbo, if not it one (or both) of the others. The 'deceleration' will probably be down to fueling. Has it been set up properly? |

Who built it and who "repaired" it ??? Any garage (or even an amatuer mechanic) would first do a compression test, or better still a leakdown test, before "replacing a couple of seals". Only then will you get an idea of what's leaking the oil to burn in the exhaust. The seals in the turbo are piston ring type seals, not rubber, so don't go hard with age (although they can obviously wear) so what seals was he/she talking about ??? Turbo repair kits are available on eBay but you need to mark it carefully when taking it apart to maintain the balance (asuming someone before you hasn't already screwed it up hence the oil useage) or know a proper turbo reconditioner who can re-balance it for you. |

OK, after the humor, can your "really good mechanic" (who couldn't be arsed at the time) actually do a compression test or, better still, a leakdown test.
